That the Parliament recognises the collaboration between the Burrell Collection and Lyon & Turnbull auction house as a fundraiser for the Burrell Collection for the first time; understands that, on 25 April 2015, donors will be given the opportunity to attend lectures and view artefacts from the Burrell Collection’s substantial collection of Chinese art, as well as have their own possessions valued by the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow, and notes that all contributions will help support Glasgow’s museums and the Burrell Collection.

That the Parliament welcomes the announcement that Wizz Air will introduce direct flights in 2015 between Glasgow and both Budapest and the Polish city of Lublin; understands that this will be the first direct Glasgow-Budapest route and that there will be a year round, twice weekly service from 13 June, with the flights to eastern Poland starting on 16 September; believes that the company chose to introduce the Budapest service following a poll in the Hungarian media, in which a majority of participants placed Glasgow at the top of their wish list, and considers that these routes have the potential to generate significant in-bound tourism for Glasgow and will help consolidate Glasgow Airport’s role as a critical gateway to Scotland.
